The New Guy - Luka

Luka is the son of King Serovik's youngest brother Kurik and a minor princess from Kopavik, Deela. When King Serovik became king of Reykjavik he murdered most of his family that opposed his rule. Kurik was killed and Deela fled back to Kopavik. Their two children, Luka and Lexa, 7 and 2 at the time, were kept by Serovik to use aginst Kopavik if the need arose.

Deela never knew if her children lived and assumed they were lost to her either way. She lived not too much longer after fleeing to Kopavik due to the trauma of losing her family. There has always been hope in Kopavik that the two children would turn up, but after many years of waiting it was assumed they had met the same fate as their father.

Luka was 5 years older than Lexa. He adored his little sister and is fiercely protective of her. Serovik sent the two away to be raised by handlers. He calls upon them once a year to remind them who they belonged to. It is a frightening visit for Lexa and she goes into hysterics every time the annual visit comes around. Now 20 and 15, Luka and Lexa travel to the annual meeting with their uncle. Luka thinks it is the same visit as always, but soon learns that he will be returning to the secluded estate he grew up on without his little sister. Lexa is of age and Serovik has decided its time for her to learn her place and become useful to him.

Luka is drugged and brought back home. When he wakes up and finds out what has happened to his sister, he goes crazy with rage. Luka is a very happy and easy going person. His entire being radiates sweetness. He always believes the best of people and has a hard time finding fault in people. The only thing he ever remembers being angry about is being sent away from his family. He was told that his parents died of an accident and his uncle reluctantly took them in. He does not remember his Kopavik heritage nor does anyone mention it to him as he grows up. He only knows of his uncle who he knows is evil, but he only has to see him once a year. He thinks there is good in his uncle and he eventually will come around. When he finds out the fate of his sister, the rage is as intense as his normal sweetness. When the rage consumes him he becomes so unlike his normal self that his handlers are overwhelmed. He escapes in search of his sister.

Luka has been raised in such seclusion the real world is a little difficult at first. He is very educated. He was sent tutors and books growing up and without much else to do has read a great deal. He is naive in many ways and incredibly intelligent at the same time. He makes his way to his uncle's palace, but in an attempt to rescue his sister he is caught. He is in a part of the prison that no other prisoners are in. He thinks it is where his uncle puts people he does not want to be found. After a whole year in prison he is surprised that a cell next to his is suddenly filled with a woman. With no one to talk to for so long he talks to her for hours. She doesn't respond to him but he keeps talking. He is surprised to find one day that she finally responds with a strange question, "Have you ever heard of the Crulian?"
